Professor David Sheppard

Public engagement

I work with medical charities (e.g. Cystic Fibrosis Trust), patient organisations (e.g. Cystic Fibrosis Europe) and learned societies (e.g. The Physiological Society) to reach out to (i) cystic fibrosis patients, their families and supporters and (ii) the general public. In my presentations, I provide information about cystic fibrosis, its cause and treatment. I explain the action of new drugs that target the root cause of cystic fibrosis.
